Microsoft, one of the technology giants for many years, recently patented an interesting technology. A chat robot that allows us to talk to dead people.
Of course, you don’t really talk to dead people, it’s a matter of another technology. Microsoft’s patented technology offers a chat robot that is developed by looking at the digital footprint of a person who has lost his life, that is, by looking at social media shares, images, and audio recordings.
He can even create a chat robot not only for those who have lost their lives but also for fictional characters or living people. In short, with this technology, you will be able to talk to a robot that resembles the behavior and ideas of anyone. Finally, Microsoft has stated that thanks to this technology, people can help develop their own chatbots while they live, so that they can leave a digital backup behind when they die.
We’ve actually seen this technology in Black Mirror before, and it didn’t go very well. We don’t know how long it will take for such a technology to come to life, but when this issue is really on the agenda, it is also a question of great curiosity about how the world will react from an ethical point of view.
